Week 4 - I'm starting to miss beer

I went to the gym tonight, hoorah. However, I know I won't be able to attend my normal classes until at least Thursday.

Last week saw me hosting nightly presentations at our high schools until late in the evening, so I was a little preoccupied. But I did weigh myself briefly, and I was down to 180 pounds.

And this is without regular exercise, just better eating and reducing late-night beer. Not that late-night beer was much, but two a night at 9:00 p.m. can't help.

This past weekend, however, I overindulged on food and drink, beginning Thursday night. USC beat up on Ole Miss, and I drank. Friday night was late evening wings and beer. We went to Athens Saturday for SEC tailgating, and I ate and drank. Sunday was Waffle House brunch, riding in a long car ride, and finishing off the weekend beer to avoid late-night weekday drinks.

So weighing myself tonight, I'm down to 179 pounds. That's 6 pounds in 2 weeks, with the first 5 in a week and a half. I'm going to run/walk and go to the gym more this week and then do the stomach and waist measurements next week.

So the lesson today, Sesame Street viewers? Beer is good for the mouth and bad for the gut.

I miss beer.
